That would be $99 PER STATE, mind you. Now, National Geographic (which owns Topo) just
announced it's completed the "seamless mapping" of all 50 states, and while those five-
layer maps (down to 7.5' equivalent) are really good (and allow all sorts of studies,
like waypoints, and vistas, and profiles) that's still a bit of cash when you have the
maps otherwise. Of course, you can also load Topo maps into your Palm and carry the
entire trail in five different scales on one 1/2 ounce Memory Stick.
